Heel fracture

A fracture of the heel bone (calcaneus) is one of the most complicated injuries to overcome.

These severe injuries typically occur after high impact events. It is also import to determine if there were any other injures during the accident.

If there is very minimal displacement of the calcaneal fracture fragments, then casting can be performed.
